Prevalence of undiagnosed dyslexia in African-American primary school children
Abstract Dyslexia is among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children, yet despite its high prevalence all too frequently goes undiagnosed. Consequently dyslexic children all too often fail to receive effective reading interventions. Here we report our findings from a study using a teacher completed evidence-based dyslexia screener to first screen then test predominantly African-American…

A color extraction algorithm by segmentation
Abstract The segmentation and extraction on color features can provide useful information for many different application domains. However, most of the existing image processing algorithms on feature extraction are gray image-based and consider only one-dimensional parameters. In order to carry out a fast and accurate color feature extraction, this paper proposes a color extraction algorithm…

Pre-stroke physical activity is associated with post-stroke physical activity and sedentary behavior in the acute phase
Abstract This study investigated the link between pre-stroke and acute-stage physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior. Forty individuals with stroke (aged 73.6 ± 8.9 years) were enrolled. Post-stroke activity, including metabolic equivalents (METs), sedentary behavior, light PA, and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA), was measured using a tri-axial accelerometer (ActiGraph wGT3X-BT) over 11 consecutive days starting from the 4th day…

Predicting long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation in the era of artificial intelligence
Abstract The ability to accurately predict long-term kidney transplant survival can assist nephrologists in making therapeutic decisions. However, predicting kidney transplantation (KT) outcomes is challenging due to the complexity of the factors involved. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly important tool in the prediction of medical outcomes. Our goal was to utilize both conventional…

Oral micro-electronic platform for temperature and humidity monitoring
Abstract Intraoral theranostics, the integration of diagnostics and therapeutics within the oral cavity, is gaining significant traction. This pioneering approach primarily addresses issues like xerostomia (dry mouth), commonly resulting from cancer treatment, with a specific focus on monitoring temperature and humidity. This paper introduces the innovative Intra-Oral Portable Micro-Electronic (IOPM) fluidic theranostic device platform. It…
